You should not allow someone else to make a decision like that for you. You are stuck with the results for the rest of your life. It should be a decision you make yourself and consider very carefully.

You look beautiful.
But ultimately, of course it's your decision. But if you're asking, you are sure about it so just wait it out.
You shouldn't have to ask strangers about an issue like this.
BTW, for years I said I'd get a nose job. Changed my mind and now I'm in my thirties and I honestly don't see it anymore, I don't care at all about my nose. I joke about it all the time, but it's there, and it's a part of me. I'm not against plastic surgery (I've actually be through it for something else), but be 100% sure before you do it.

Basically OP it all comes down to you, do YOU want a nose job? Are YOU comfortable with how you look? I know plenty of people tell me my nose is just fine, but they aren't the ones that have to carry it in the middle of their faces all day, so...

Well yes the doc makes money giving you the operation, not telling you that you look just fine. That's why I say you are the only one that should make that decision. Besides, you may come to appreciate your nose! My nose comes down to me from my dad, my grandma and my great-grandfather, and part of me sees it as being part of my family. Also I have the same nose of Julius Cesar (according to his statue), so it's not just my family heritage, but also my Italian and Roman heritage. Now that I live in the US it feels like a bit of my culture that I carry with me, know what I mean?

Sounds like you're making the decision out of self consciousness. No judgment here, we all have it. But we do have to understand it for what it really is. The truth is, for every person who calls you a witch because of your nose there will be a person who calls you a try-hard poser or something else for having had the surgery. If you're worried what other people think you literally can't win no matter what you do. You may have to learn this with experience, even if you might already understand this on a purely cognitive level.
If you're worried about how you look to other people, the reality is that anyone who thinks you look good with your nose being the way it is now isn't likely to think you look much (if at all) better after the surgery. Anyone who thinks you don't look good with your nose being the way it is will most likely not think you look much better after the surgery.
Admittedly, the above paragraph might just be me projecting so if anyone else can chime in with personal experience of their own on this it would be helpful. I can certainly tell you though that a woman I know who I already thought was very beautiful was also very self-conscious about her nose, got the surgery, and imo didn't really look any better after it. Looking at your picture posted above, I'm trying to imagine you with different shaped noses and short of replacing it with a hawk's bill I just can't see a whole lot that would change my opinion of how you look all in all.
One final note. Someone else's opinion of how you look is about them, not you. You are not responsible for what other people perceive, their perceptions are their own and based on the way they process data that they extract through their 5 senses and the biases that they've learned from the environments they've been exposed to. You are not relevant to any of this and try as you might, it's not something that you can effectively control to any appreciable degree. You can only do you, and if someone else thinks you look like a witch that is NOT your responsibility.They see indoctrination and they call it "morality", "professionalism", or "maturity" depending on the context.

I have to agree with this. I wondered what had brought you to decide you wanted a nose job - if it IS stemming from that 'person' calling you a witch then I would suggest thinking about it more. Is it really what YOU want or are you making this change based on someone else's opinion? Are YOU happy with how you look? Is it only since this comment was made that you have thought about surgery?
If it is ultimately what you want then it's your body. Just be sure you're not doing it because of the judgements from others- Fallen Angel -

this is true. I think now the ex said this stuff to get at me . ( I was a witch out out a fake nose for a holloween party like a week before we ended things. I think he was trying to hurt me because he himself was insecure about being with a relatively fit non fat tall woman when he himself was not very fit and had height issues.
I dont like the idea of the nose job as its not me anymore if i do that, but it bugs me a lot. I think I need to accept that I'm not as decent looking as I used to be and be okay with the whole slow process of becoming older and uglier. the nose would look out of place. I was always a strong believer in natural beauty. it just gets harder as it fades.

OP, from your picture, you have a very attractive face. You're 24. You have a lot of years before your natural beauty starts to fade, and when it does, it will be for reasons that have nothing to do with your nose. Keep yourself physically and mentally active, take care of your body and your mind, and treat yourself with love and respect. Chances are that the guy who eventually deserves you will love your nose along with the rest of you, and you'll be proud of it.
Don't let insecurity lead you to hide or change that natural beauty. What needs to change is not your outward features, but the inner insecurity itself.“Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.”
